Wow, that's great info thanks. With those start times I imagine some are bypassing lines to stay on reserve. What is the junior long call in New York on 737 or AB?

NYC is uber junior but more so on the Airbus. I would bid 30% in base there, and am 75% in CLT, NFW am I going to NYC!!!

LC is about 170 numbers more junior of the 320.

24 AB320 guys have LC before the most junior guy 737 held LC in July.

Is American still running E-190 classes for nh? What's the fleet plan for this jet, if anybody knows? Thanks!

Yes, typically 6 per class or maybe 6 per month. You can actually find most of the class assignments on APC.

Fleet plan is to park them in 2019.

I was wishing for a training hold. AB pay with the E9 schedule. Then they sent us all right away. This was in fall 2014.

FWIW

From the 6/30 flight dept hotline, I cut out the MD80 stuff:

"This report from Captain Greg Kunasek on the MD80s and E190s:


Flying on the E190 remains steady with 12 pilots attending transition training each month at the Charlotte Training Center, and an average of 22 pilots per month in recurrent training. Utilization of the single E190 simulator is usually at 90 percent or more each month. We’re approaching a time where the engines on the fleet must be replaced, so the current plan is to begin retiring the E190s in January of 2019 with the drawdown complete by October of that year.

The E190 continues to be one of our most reliable aircraft, from serving our New York Shuttle operation, to flights in Texas, Illinois, Massachusetts, Florida, and many points in between, as well as weekend service to Bahamas and Grand Cayman."

I will believe the 190s are gone, when they are actually gone.

Just like I believe we are getting a new airframe when it actually shows up.


I wouldn't be a bit surprised if we get more 190s or replace them with a similar a/c.
